Get total minutes until tomorrow

Question

I'm trying to get the minutes until 00:00:00 (until the day changes) but in Chicago timezone. I set my timezone to chicago (temporarly) then reset it to my original. There thing I am currently struggling with is getting the amount of minutes until the day changes. I need the minutes as I am trying to set a cookie that will expire as soon as it turns tomorrow.

$oldTimezone = date_default_timezone_get();
date_default_timezone_set('America/Chicago');
// TODO: Get the minutes while Chicago is active.
date_default_timezone_set($oldTimezone);

Don't you set the cookie `expires` property to [_"date-in-GMTString-format"_](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/cookie#Syntax)? — Phil, Feb 01 '18 at 05:01

Here you go:

echo (strtotime('tomorrow') - strtotime('now')) / 60;

Note: This is not a formatted string, if you wish to format in H:i:s, this will work:

echo date("H:i:s", (strtotime('tomorrow') - strtotime('now')));

Seems like you fell onto someone who either doesn't know how to mark questions as solved, or doesn't want to bother. I left them [this comment](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48554764/get-total-minutes-until-tomorrow/48554920#comment84166648_48554764) about it. – Funk Forty Niner Feb 02 '18 at 14:41
@FunkFortyNiner Yeah, that's a problem with new users. I think high rep guys should have this option to mark as resolved. Anyways, even I need to rethink weather I should answer users with low rep as you have in your bio ;) – Aniket Sahrawat Feb 02 '18 at 15:13
